NJPW Star Calls AEW A ‘Midcard Company’

Many wrestling fans are very excited about the partnership between New Japan Pro Wrestling and AEW. However, Tama Tonga does not seem to be one of those fans.

On a recent edition of Tama’s Island, he unleashed on The Elite and AEW, calling AEW a midcard company. Here is the quote, courtesy of Fightful:

“I’m not understanding which path they are coming from because KENTA shows up on AEW, smacks around Jon Moxley, Kenny approaches him and is like, ‘Brother Switchblade didn’t tell me you were coming.’ KENTA tells him to ‘shut the f*** up.’ KENTA ain’t no bitch. He’s loyal. The following week, you do a press conference set-up like New Japan. Nobody is talking but Don Callis. Good Brothers stay silent, Omega slouched over like a lost child. Machine Gun had to comfort him. Don Callis says Jay White can’t pull in money. Now you taking shots at Jay White? A week before, you were calling him Brother Switchblade. Make up your damn mind.

You apologize but then take shots. It’s like you’re retreating and shooting as you run away. That’s bitch s***. If I was the Bootleg Club, I’d curl up too. The defeat in Kenny Omega’s eyes. I’m glad Machine Gun stayed silent. The other hoot, calling us scabs and midcards. Kenny Omega is in a midcard company. Wednesday Night Wars. It’s AEW and NXT. It’s a minor league war. Raw vs. Nitro was on a different level. This ain’t that,”

Tama Tonga has been outspoken about Bullet Club since Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers starting bringing up their own faction in December.
